Reply to "Barium enema test"

Ok, so I decided not to get this test done at the local hospital because clearly the scheduling person who has been there forever had never heard of a j-pouch, which means that they must never get any experience with j-pouchers. I'm petrified of the tech doing something wrong and endangering all this expert handiwork inside me. 

So, I'm going to reschedule for a place where they actually do the j-pouch surgery. That way, I'm sure that the radiology department experienced with j-pouch patients. 

I had this test done before take down, but it was at the major hospital where I had my surgery and I did it on the same day as a bunch of other tests. It seems like it's not common to do it after take down like I'm having. But my doctor said it's a  way to see scar tissue and what's going on. The doctor says this will help her understand why I'm having difficulty emptying the pouch.

If anyone else has had this test post take-down, let me know what prep you did. 

Thanks!
